A compact, condensed sans with a strong forward slant and heavy, uniform strokes. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a smooth, superelliptical feel. The forms are tightly drawn with narrow apertures and squared-off joins softened by rounding, producing dense word shapes and a steady, mechanical rhythm across text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compact stance, with sturdy vertical emphasis and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, athletic or motorsport-themed branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for signage or interface highlights where condensed width is helpful, but extended body copy will typically benefit from larger sizes and extra letterspacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with the slant and tight proportions creating a sense of speed and pressure. Its rounded-rectangular construction adds a slightly retro, industrial flavor—more engineered than calligraphic—while still feeling approachable due to the softened corners.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a pronounced slant with rounded-rectangular construction for a fast, modern-display look. The consistent stroke weight and compact proportions prioritize punchy silhouettes and strong presence over delicate detail.
In longer lines, the narrow apertures and compact spacing create a dark, continuous texture that reads best when given ample size or generous tracking. The forward lean is pronounced and becomes a defining stylistic cue, especially in all-caps settings.
